The question came up in class last week in respect to spirituality. Is the consciousness evolution path easier if you are single or married? The answer Don gave was single.
He is right. It is easier to be on a spiritual path when one is single. The example he gave is that when you want to change something in your life, you can change it without taking any one else into consideration. When you are married, you are changing the marriage contract when you change yourself.
I have also heard Don, Yogi Bhajan and other teachers say that the fastest way to consciously evolve is in a conscious relationship. If you are both on the path, you are constantly mirrors for each other, which forces you to evolve twice as fast (if 1+1=2) or (as YB would say) eleven times as fast (if 1+1=11).
So, it is a question of destiny and commitment to the destiny you choose. This is where I think men get a bad wrap. Of course you have heard that all men have a fear of commitment and must be trapped into it?
I believe that both men and women have a difficult time deciding whether to marry, it just happens at different times in the process. Read the complete Post.
